Shooting guard says he'll sign with Auburn in 2009

Shooting guard Andre Malone said Monday night he'll be a member of the 2009 Auburn basketball signing class, according to AuburnSports.com and AUTigers.com. The Riverdale, Ga., player said he had offers from Georgia, LSU, South Carolina, Cincinnati and Xavier, among others.

The 6-foot-4, 202-pound Malone averaged 22 points as a junior at North Clayton High School.

Malone is Auburn's second commitment for the 2009 class. The other is forward Robert Chubb of Peachtree City, Ga. Chubb and Malone, both of whom will be seniors next year, can sign in November. Auburn has four players signed and ready to join the team for next season.
